Ingredients:
Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Disodium Succinate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hydroxyethlcellulose, Methylparaben, PPG-10 Methyl Glucose Ether, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Succinic Acid.
I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Leaves a slight tacky/sticky feeling if applied generously (disappears after a while though)
- Too many layers and applied too often feels pore clogging?
- When my skin feels and looks ok, doesn't really make any difference
+ No fragrance
+ Soothing
+ Good value - the bottle is big and you only need little at a time
+ Versatile - can be a toner, essence, serum, applied at any point of routine
+ Really smooth skin after applying about 3 layers (when skin is feeling rough, otherwise feels like it could be breaking me out a little)
+ Works really well with most moisturizers, lighter ones feel a lot more effective and heavier ones don't feel so heavy on top of it while still having all the benefits

* I bought this crowd pleaser last summer. I didn't have any huge expectations despite that, I just wanted to see what everyone was raving about.
* I've been using Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion on and off and I still have 2/3 left in the bottle! I can't do 7-skin or other layering method, as they seem to clog my skin, but I have layered this one 2-3 times successfully when I have felt my skin was unusually rough. Good for sensitive skin, this is one of my "safe" products (if not too much is applied).
* I have applied Gokujyun Lotion probably at every step of my skin care routine and it's all fine. Right after washing, in the middle of creams, at the end, too... of course it might leave slight stickiness to the skin at the end. Sometimes when my skin has been feeling a bit irritated or hot I have applied it on top, and it actually feels soothing.
* Compared to The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum, Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Lotion is a lot lighter, absorbs better, doesn't pill. However they are completely different things by default (toner vs. concentrated serum) but if TO's HA doesn't work for you it's easy to get HA in other products, like Gokujyun Lotion. Personally results on my skin are visible with TO's HA but it's a bit tricky to apply just right.
* Now that I think of it, I should've bought Hada Labo Gokyujyun Light Lotion because it doesn't have Butylene Glycol. I don't know if it causes me to break out, but it sure seems to be one ingredient high in the list in many products that I've discarded.

Buy again?
Maybe? Even though I'm probably stuck with the current bottle for two years at this pace...
Worth the money?
Yes, it is worth it, but it's not some miracle product that some people make it sound like! On its own it's nothing as it's not a moisturizer. I would say any hyaluronic acid toner/essence/serum probably does the same thing! This one is just amazingly cost effective and lasts forever.
